Public Notice from District Attorney Aubrey Olson
 

November 20, 2025

I received information last week from the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) regarding complaints they have received regarding services my office provides, to include complaints about my policies related to charging decisions as well as possible victims’ rights violations. I take these complaints very seriously and am working to investigate them. I believe in transparency; however, I am unable to share details at this time. If you have complaints about my office, please report them directly to me by either calling the DA’s Office at 503-842-3410 or emailing me at aubrey.olson@tillamookcounty.gov. Further, if you have specific complaints about me or another attorney regarding violations of the Oregon State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct, you may also file complaints with the Oregon State Bar by calling 503-620-0222 or by submitting an online complaint here: https://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1174.htm. For victims rights violations, you may submit claims using the forms provided here: https://www.courts.oregon.gov/forms/pages/victim-rights-violation.aspx. If you need legal assistance with any of these processes, you can contact the Oregon State Bar for help finding a local attorney.

Upon taking office as the Tillamook County District Attorney, I took an oath under which I swore that “I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Oregon, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of a District Attorney.” I am driven by this oath every day. I fight hard to uphold and defend citizens’ constitutional rights and to seek justice by objectively following the law. Due to the nature of my role in the criminal justice system, I often see cases involving extreme emotions and high expectations. Understandably, people sometimes disapprove of my decisions and/or the outcome of cases if they fail to meet expectations. I appreciate feedback and want to help people understand the inner workings of the criminal justice system. People may reach out with questions and concerns, but please be aware, due to time constraints, I may not be able to respond to each individual person, and I will not be able to discuss pending cases. You are also welcome to attend court sessions if you are interested in learning more. You can view the daily schedule here: https://publicaccess.courts.oregon.gov/PublicAccess/default.aspx.
